Bridgeport failed because nobody really likes being in Bridgeport when they don't really have to be. Here's where I see a team doing well for 6 or 7 home games:

1. Hartford2. Albany3. Happy Valley

4. Minneapolis5. Austin

If the league also started from 0 again, looking at operating costs and being more efficiently managed the declining attendence numbers wouldn't be so alarming. Lastly, kids love gear…the MLL needs to be flashy, creative and well marketed. Right now it is none of those; get a new bucket each year along with the new gloves. Throw in a sweet alternate uniform and hand out practice reversibles to the first 100 fans for the home opener. Marketing is definitely lacking. How sweet would it be to see the Nationals wearing a home kit with Orange as the primary color on the jersey/shorts? There are so many ways to make the MLL more appealing, the league needs to become more innovative and creative.
